Abstract: La présente invention concerne une tête optique et un enregistreur optique permettant d'enregistrer des données sur un disque optique compact (CD-ROM) conventionnel ou de les reproduire à partir dudit disque optique compact, sans problème particulier. L'invention permet en outre d'enregistrer ou de reproduire dans les mêmes conditions lesdites données à partir d'un support optique de la norme DVD répondant aux exigences de haute densité d'enregistrement en utilisant un faisceau laser à semi-conducteur disposant d'une longueur d'onde relativement plus importante que l'entraxe de piste du support d'enregistrement optique et d'une technologie de super-résolution optique. De plus, étant donné que l'on peut employer avec la tête de l'enregistreur optique un faisceau laser à semi-conducteur et à longueur d'onde relativement plus importante que l'entraxe de piste du support d'enregistrement optique, les limitations imposées par l'enregistrement haute densité peuvent être dépassées. Le dispositif de lecture optique et l'enregistreur optique peuvent ainsi enregistrer et reproduire des données d'enregistrement haute densité à un coût moindre et avec une fiabilité remarquable. Ils pourront donc répondre à l'avenir aux besoins en plus hautes densités d'enregistrement.

Abstract: Cet amplificateur optique, qui sert à amplifier plusieurs composantes de signal d'un faisceau optique à longueurs d'ondes multiples passant à travers une fibre optique, comporte une partie de sa fibre optique dopée avec un ion de terres rares, en vue d'amplifier le signal optique, dont le spectre de gain en fonction de la longueur d'onde est non uniforme. Cet amplificateur optique comprend en outre un module d'aplatissement de gain (GFM) servant à compenser le spectre de gain non uniforme de la fibre dopée, en atténuant chacun des canaux du signal amplifié pour égaliser le gain. Un module d'égalisation de gain (GEM) compense les fluctuations de gain variables dues à l'addition et à la soustraction des composantes de signal. Ce module d'égalisation de gain ajuste de façon dynamique chaque composante de signal du faisceau optique, pourque les amplitudes des composantes de signal soient sensiblement égales, en réponse à plusieurs signaux de commande. Chaque signal de commande est représentatif du degré d'atténuation nécessaire pour égaliser les composantes de signal. Les signaux de commande respectifs sont générés par un moniteur d'état de boucle (LSM) qui comprend un guide d'onde servant à démultiplexer le faisceau optique, ainsi qu'un alignement matriciel de détecteurs qui détermine l'amplitude de chaque composante de signal. Un contrôleur génère les signaux de commande en fonction de l'amplitude des composantes des signaux

Abstract: An eccentric rotary high pressure seal is disclosed herein. This seal includes a valve body and a spring located in a housing. The spring biases the valve body to rotate. The valve body defines a longitudinally extending passage having dimensions sufficient to allow an introducer needle to pass therethrough. This passage is offset from the axis of the valve body. The valve body is located in a housing that will allow the valve body to rotate therein. The housing defines two longitudinally aligned openings that are offset from the axis of the housing. These two longitudinally aligned openings are oriented such that the passage in the valve body can be aligned with the openings located in the housing. In this manner, an introducer needle can extend into the housing and hold the valve body against the bias of the spring. Once the introducer needle is removed from the housing, the valve body is no longer held in place against the force of the spring. Therefore, the spring causes the valve body to rotate within the housing so that the passage in the valve body is not aligned with the two longitudinally aligned openings formed in the housing. This prevents fluid flow through the housing past the valve body once the introducer needle is removed therefrom.

Abstract: An electric, resistance element heater utilizes quartz as a sheath material and has a resistance (heating) element that is in intimate, substantially continuous contact with a surface of the quartz. This allows the heater to operate in any one or all of the three modes of heat transfer, namely, radiation, conduction and convection. Such intimate, substantially continuous contact of the resistance element is achieved by applying the element in direct contact with the quartz surface. This is accomplished by applying a heating circuit directly to the quartz surface, which heating element can be a foil element, or a thick or a thin film deposition element. The overall heater is formed by covering the heater element by a quartz sheath and attaching leads formed on the ends of the heater element to a source of electric energy. Sensors such as thermocouples, RTD's and the like can also be incorporated directly into the heater structure. Also, the heater can be fashioned into a variety of shapes.
